Intro:

Post-game sound after the Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Chicago Bulls 106-91 in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference semi-finals on Wednesday night (5th May) at Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, Ohio.

Script:

SOUNDBITE (English) Tom Thibodeau, Chicago Bulls Head Coach:

"We knew the aggression would be better, harder and we didn't respond well to it. So we got out-rebounded, we gave them everything, 38 points in the first quarter. It's too big of a cushion for them. Tried to work our way back into the game, had maybe one crack at it and we didn't get it done. We're capable of playing a lot better and we're going to have to."

SOUNDBITE (English) David Blatt, Cleveland Cavaliers Head Coach:

"Today we really stepped up. But we were facing a lot of change in that first game, obviously. We're playing for the first time without 40 per cent of our starting line-up. We're playing after an eight day layoff. We didn't meet the challenge that day. Today we did, but that's it, no more than that, 1-1 (series). It was an important win for us. We get to go down to Chicago with the series wide open for both teams. And we're going to have to play great basketball in order to win down there."

SOUNDBITE (English) LeBron James, Cleveland Cavaliers Forward:

"I just try to respond the best way I know how and help our team win a ballgame, be aggressive throughout the whole game. And I'm just trying to make a few plays, just try to help us get this win. We needed it, our back was against the wall. I mean, we can't get down 2-0 on our home floor. So we played a great game and I was happy I was a part of it."
